Because of the effects on stability when the unit is not level, the unit must be in a level position before any
boom functions are operated. Level the unit using the level indicators (bulls-eye level) mounted at the
outrigger control location when setting the outriggers. Follow instruction in Operators Manual for site
selection and outrigger operation
• Determine if the is vehicle level by looking at the level indicator located by the outrigger controls. The
operator must visually verify the ground condition and that the outrigger can support the truck weight
and boom load that can exceed 25,000 lbs. (11,340 kg).
• Change the position of the truck by repositioning the truck or by cribbing outriggers if the outriggers do
not have sufficient stroke to level the truck.
Use the following procedure after the vehicle is in position at the work site:
• Turn on warning lights.
• Place vehicle in neutral and set brakes before leaving cab.
• Chock the wheels.
• Position and use signs, warning lights, and barricades in accordance with OSHA, ANSI, state, and
company rules and regulations.
• When work is to be performed on or near power lines, ground and/or barricade vehicle according to
your company policy. If using a temporary ground connect grounding cable clamped to a static line or
neutral, or use drive or screw type ground rod to ground truck according to your company policy.Unroll
ground cable fully and spread out so cable does not cross over.

truck.
